I've been reflecting on the notion that Latitude is one of cheater_1's alt accounts... and it makes a startling amount of sense to me, extrapolating what I can about his psychology.
I think it's a very intriguing notion - to create a "villain" account and also a "hero" one. Note the clue in the similarity of the profile pictures... both masked men. One claims to be willing to kill his grandmother with a two-by-four, the other seems to be unwaveringly obsessed with justice and morality.
I think that is one of the first clues. The polarities of the two accounts are interestingly extreme. I reflected that the user of these accounts, for the most part in the past, would've been veeery careful to not out himself, nor did he have any reason to. I think in the excitement surrounding this match, he was pushed to use the other character. The use of language is very similar, as is the mild deviation of red letters instead of capital ones.
Think about it: would a guy like cheater_1 try to "good-cop" "bad-cop" us? Of course he would. He'd like to sow as much dissention as possible. Notice how the tactics are changing... cheater_1 is acting almost amicable, he's pleased to have this opportunity, etc, whereas Latitude is taking the burden of trying to point out the "hypocrisy" and "immorality" of the chess.com members involved.
I think it was the line "Erik will recant!" that really solidified it in my mind.
We could discuss the mask similarities like we could discuss why most vehicles have 4 wheels.
And about the different psychologies and multi patterns and “polarities” of the chess.com profiles what can I say? You got me there. It is a very interesting point worthy of further explorations.
But I would have to revise my Psychoanalysis and Neurosis by Jung and that’s really asking too much today.
Ok! Lets keep this farce alive: I’m Cheater_1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
… and I live in Erik’s basement.

PS) Yeah Hesse is cool. I enjoy it a lot. Glad we coincide on that.
PEACE
seriously though "to practice", from the country that brought us "just a couple things" and "could care less", it's at least as likely that "to practice" is just a mistake that got out of hand, rather than a conscious spelling difference. Most of the English speaking world, and apparently a significant minority of Americans knows, and observes the difference. Kinda suggests it's just ignorance to me. Anyway, i would have left it alone were it not for the original context, as i was aware most Americans, er, "could care less" as it were 
Lattitude,
I've largely stayed out of this discussion, but now I have a question for you. Weather you are or aren't also Cheater_1 is, IMO, a very intriguing idea, though ultimately moot, because none of us (outside of possibly Erik) could actually prove it, though, you do have strangely similar posting styles. My question to you is in regards to your posts regarding, in your words, the "INTELIGENTZIA" (which is spelled intelligentsia, btw).
The idea behind an intelligentsia is a group of people who believe that they are so much smarter than everyone else that they cannot be associated with people who are less intelligent than them. Where is the evidence of such behavior here? The only evidence I see is someone pointed out that you probably meant to use the word AURA instead of AURORA. This wasn't meant as a slight against you, the two words have COMPLETELY different meanings so the post was a bit confusing and needed to be clarified. Also, while it is technically correct to use "egoist" the way you did, I have never in my life actually heard someone use it like that. In fact, I even had to look it up in order to find out that it WAS correct. Typically, the word "egoist" is only used in philisophical discussions and books to refer to a philisophical idea, NOT someone who has "excessive concern for oneself"*, which is, what I believe you meant to say. So again, it's not elitist to be confused by the use of that term in that way.
No one here is saying they are smarter than anyone. And I don't see where anyone is trying to disassociate with anyone else because of a typo.
